It's just two different companies applying their own patent or are totally 2 different drugs?

Different drugs, both SSRIs.
Fluvoxamine isn't used as much nowadays, Fluoxetine (Prozac) is far more popular and probably slightly more efficacious.

From memory, so beware:
Most evident difference is that fluvoxamine is actually a Sigma 1 agonist, and raises neurosteroids in that way.
Fluoxetine has much lower affinity for Sigma 1, if any, and raises neurosteroid Allopregnanolone by increasing the affinity of 3alpha-HSD 100x fold to its substrate 5alpha DHP.
